Occupying an enviable position with breathtaking, far-reaching countryside views, this is a home that offers both elegance and lifestyle in equal measure.
Every aspect of the renovation has been completed with quality and attention to detail at its heart. No expense has been spared, with premium fixtures and fittings throughout, including a gas combination boiler, UPVC double glazing, selected windows with integrated blinds, air conditioning to selected rooms, and an array of stylish design features. The magnificent principal bedroom, complete with its own private balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside, is undoubtedly one of the home's standout highlights.

From the stunning open-plan living space and dedicated home office to the practical utility room and luxurious principal suite with en-suite shower room, every room has been carefully considered to create a home of exceptional comfort and functionality.
The accommodation begins with an inviting entrance hallway, setting the tone for the quality found throughout, with access to the integral garage and a stylish cloakroom/WC. At the heart of the property lies the spectacular open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, a truly impressive entertaining area enjoying uninterrupted views across the rear garden and open countryside beyond.

The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of high-quality wall, base and drawer units, complemented by a striking central island incorporating a breakfast bar. Integrated double ovens and dishwasher are included, together with designated space for a range cooker and American-style fridge/freezer.
Expansive bi-folding doors open effortlessly onto the porcelain patio, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living—perfect for entertaining family and friends throughout the warmer months. The adjoining lounge is flooded with natural light courtesy of its stunning vaulted glazed ceiling, creating a bright and airy atmosphere, while the dining area offers ample space for formal dining and is centred around a charming log-burning stove, adding warmth and character.
Leading from the dining area is an elegant home office featuring a beautiful bay window overlooking the front aspect, providing the ideal space for remote working. Completing the ground floor is a well-equipped utility room offering additional storage, space for laundry appliances and the practical addition of a dedicated dog shower.

To the first floor, the sense of luxury continues with five generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The superb principal suite provides a true sanctuary, with floor-to-ceiling glazing framing the spectacular countryside views and allowing an abundance of natural light to pour into the room. Sliding doors open onto the private balcony—an idyllic spot to enjoy a morning coffee as the sun rises or unwind in the evening while taking in the peaceful surroundings.
